The Aion Kinah Guide – Scam or Real Deal?

I have been seeing a lot of new Aion guides hit the market these days. They come in all shapes and forms and while the first few rounds of them were almost all leveling guides, the recent trend is for Kinah guides. I was never a fan of early release currency guides because they tend to give you a bunch of farming locations that won't work in three weeks. So, with the Aion Kinah Guide, the newest one of these guides located at AionKinahGuide.com, are we getting yet another early release scam or is it the real deal?

Analyzing the Guide

To start with, let's take a look at what the Aion Kinah Guide promises. It doesn't promise the moon like so many other guides. It's pretty to the point and showcases mostly methods to utilize the in-game systems like the Private Store and Trade Broker for Kinah rather than to load up on farming locations.

That's not to say that it doesn't provide plenty of good farming locales, but they tend to be fewer than the number of crafting and hunting strategies. To me, this is a great thing. This is not a farming game. It is a crafting and trading game. That was how it was designed and that is how it should be played. Everyone can farm their own materials and mobs are almost all centralized in the Abyss when it comes to rare, valuable items, so what point is there in farming out in the other zones?

How Does it Work?

So, when I started putting these strategies into effect, I didn't expect too much, but I was a little excited because it was the kind of Kinah guide I was looking for. And boy was I ever satisfied with the end result.

After spending about three days playing with this guide, I had already made over 5 million Kinah. That was at Level 42 and now I'm drawing in well over that with far less work. The truth about this guide is that it does everything it says it will and it does it all extremely well. If you're serious about being a high level in-game trader and crafter in Aion, then the Aion Kinah Guide is the only resource you should have on your desktop.
